YBA Passion A650 Power Amplifier 2 x 200 W, Alpha® Class-A

The Passion range of YBA has been a benchmark in the hi-fi world for many years. This amplifier is part of the manufacturers current range, designed by Yves-Bernard André, YBA Chief Designer who continues as part of ownership group and oversees the production/assembly in an ISO9001 facility.
It works in Alpha® Class-A, a class specific to YBA, preserving all the musical advantages of Class A without its disadvantages. It is comfortable with all types of speakers. YBAs iconic sound is extraordinarily transparent, detailed with an open and precise 3D soundstage.
The "magic" is its rich, vibrant tonality that accurately captures the real tone of voice and instruments. It doesn't fall within usual solid-state camp neither is trying to be act with virtual tube-like character. Yves-Bernard Andre took the middle path with "voicing" of the amp. This is power amp, that is built for musicality rather than pure specification.

The amp has been used for 1 year and 4 months, currently boxed. In very good condition, like new. In original package with manual and solid aluminum remote control. Has been used with highest care.
